That's like saying small scale growers can't grow more than X amount of plants because quality suffers, or something.

I guess I don't understand all the anti-MMC hate around here, and I wish someone could explain it to me.

Wouldn't small scale, high quality growers (the typical anti-MMC person) have larger grows if money wasn't an issue? If small grows can grow top quality medicine, then why can't those growers scale up and increase inventory and volume? At what point does your anti-MMC-shitty-quality argument start applying to small scale growers such as the typical person reading this site? Do you understand what I'm saying? The argument that MMC's can't possibly grow quality medicine is wrong. What do you think?

SprngsCaregiver: I know you dislike me from past comments, but you seem to be adamantly anti-MMC. Do you think it's possible for an MMC to grow on a large scale and still have small grow quality? Or is it impossible to take small grow knowledge and scale it up? Don't you have experience with small and larger home grows? I am not sure and feel free to correct me. You just seem like you have experience on this subject.
The problem is a bunch of people have just bought their way in not knowing the first thing about growing marijuana. They are just planting seeds and watching them grow. They have lobbied to have the laws shifted in their favor so they can have their little monopoly. Why do you think caregivers are no longer able to sell overages to dispensaries even though that is where the best meds in the state were coming from?
Then lets take a look at the caregiver 5 patient law. They say it is to limit the amount of plants in a residential grow. I say BS if you wanted to limit the number of plants in a resedential grow you would do just that, not limit the ammount of business a caregiver can do. What if a caregiver wanted to move their business into a commercial building?

I can only answer your question about quality to the best of my knowledge... I know there is a huge difference between growing 10 plants and growing close to 100. So, I would imagine that difference would be amplified the higher your counts get.
Is it possible? Of course it's possible. The problem is most of the people who bought their way in only care about turning the money around as quickly as possible. They are what we in the business call "commercial growers".

I don't dislike you. I dislike your attitude towards caregivers and favoritism towards MMC's. It seems every comment you make you are in some way trying to criminalize/bash caregivers.
Also, I'm not anti MMC and I have never said I was. I'm anti government limiting my legal business because they got lobby $ to do so. No I dont have proof of politicians receiving lobby $ but read between the lines. Why else would there be such a drastic shift and a whole new entity (the MMC) created under 1284?
